Marsha, a con artist with a conscience, has agreed to take on an unusual scheme in order to pay off a debt to a lawyer who helped out her brother. An elderly millionaire is about to die, and the entire fortune has been willed to a stripper named Jean, who is unaware of the windfall awaiting her. Marsha's task is to get to know Jean well enough that she can impersonate her at the reading of the will and take the inheritance for herself. Taking a job at the same strip club, the pair soon bond, but will Marsha's feelings for her new friend outweigh her need to help pay off her brother's debt?

Absolutely Fantastic
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Yes, it was bad, as bad as movies can usually get. The acting was tolerable, and there really wasn't much story as con artists try to con the marks and each other. The ending was corny and poorly written.But the whole point was to get another chance to see the lovely Audie England (Delta of Venus, Free Enterprise), and we did get to see her. Wow! I am so glad she decided to appear on this side of the camera instead of becoming a cinematographer.We get a bonus as this film also included the gorgeous Kathy Ireland, the former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition model. We just have to imagine what lies beneath with Ireland as she has one of those Sandra Bullock no-nudity clauses in her contracts. But, it was fun imagining.
Please don't view this film! This is a terrible film, Kathy Ireland what are you doing? please don't waist your time with this. If they stuck to their original idea with Pamela Anderson in the lead role it would of still been as bad.I think that Pammy avoided this film due to its terrible script and not the nude scenes as Kathy Ireland has none in it anyway. Audie England supporting role is also waisted as she has much more talent to be in a film this bad. Audie should be auditioning for Meg Ryan type parts which suit her.stay away from movies which sucks and make you look worse.
Yes, it barely qualifies as a film, with the worst imaginable acting, directing and writing. But for some reason I find films like this to be intriguing when viewed as cultural artifacts. It just seems to me they're made so cheaply that they can't help but capture the moment better than a big, expensive, heavily styled Hollywood production. I'm old enough to not think of 1996 as that long ago, so I was amazed at how dated everything in this film looks. For instance, all the women wear these ill-fitting jeans with tapered legs and high waists and their long blouses tucked in, which is just the opposite of what you see now (thank God!) Living through the '90s I was just happy nothing looked like the '80s; watching this movie made me glad nothing looks like the '90s.
Even if you rent this movie for the wrong reasons (as I did) you'll be disappointed. The beautiful Kathy Ireland is completely un-erotic. The sex scenes are perfunctory and if strip clubs were as boring as the one in this movie they would all have closed a long time ago. Obviously a movie that had problems. It's the first time I've seen a credit for "Director of Re-shooting". The only good point. It is short. 81 minutes.
